We solve the inverse problem with the conjugate gradientsmethodand,inaddition,weacceleratetheconvergenceoftheCGschemebyapreconditioningstrategy. We have applied the regularized least-squares migration (RLSM) algorithm to a 3-D data set from the Western CanadianSedimentaryBasin.

We also observe an substantial enhancement of vertical resolution as a consequence of improving the coherence of the inverted common image gathers and an implicit deconvolution thatis embedded in the method.
